The elastic layer combined with dispensing-printed flexible electrodes forms piezoresistive sensing units. It employs the spatial weighted fusion algorithm to couple displacement of markers as weights with forces measured by the piezoresistive sensing units. High resolution and improved measurement accuracy at small forces are realized, and the coefficient of variation of measured force is reduced, which contributes to enhancing reliability. The sensor will be served as a reliable data source for future human-machine interaction applications.","PeriodicalId":518439,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 37th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)","volume":"3 3","pages":"825-828"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is a lack of microballoon catheters with real-time feedback capability to replace the current personal experience from X-ray pictures. This paper reports a stretchable fractal electrode array integrated on miniature semi-expanded microballoon catheter for the first time, which can accommodate large expansion. Six electrode sites are uniformly distributed in 120° circumferential direction on two ends of the microballon. Thus, the fractal electrodes can apply directional electrical stimulation with good spatial resolution to the compressed ganglion during the microballoon expansion, along with the evoked myoelectric potential to improve treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Optimized fractal interconnects can integrate to the semi-expanded balloon with sufficient stretchability. Besides, the electrode sites with ring ground are assembled on metal marker rings without deformation for better nerve stimulation.","PeriodicalId":518439,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 37th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)","volume":"179 1","pages":"251-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tri-axis anisotropic magneto-resistive (AMR) sensor consists of two existing pure AMR film routing for in-plane magnetic field sensing and a novel peacock shape routing with a mushroom shape structure array as magnetic flux guide to enhance the out-of-plane magnetic field detection. Due to the radial symmetry design, the peacock shape AMR film has similar sensing signals introduced by the in-plane magnetic field of different azimuths. Thus, the decouple of the out-of-plane and in-plane sensing signals is easily achieved. Measurements demonstrate that the proposed peacock shape AMR film has no resistance variation when exposed to in-plane magnetic field of different azimuths, and could detect the out-of-plane magnetic flux collected by the Ni-pillar. The sensitivity of AMR ratio in out-of-plane is -2×10-4 %/Gauss.","PeriodicalId":518439,"journal":{"name":"2024 IEEE 37th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)","volume":"29 2","pages":"52-55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140531498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we evaluated 17 microneedle-compatible materials for adhesion with gold, the surface required for EAB functionalization. Those exhibiting satisfactory adhesion were functionalized with an aptamer sensitive to vancomycin, challenged with a range of target concentrations, and compared.

Multiple CVD biomarker detection with microfluidics, which can increase both the accuracy and speed of early CVD diagnosis, has emerged as a promising alternative to single-marker analysis. This paper presented a novel two-dimensional magnetic field scanning platform for four types of CVD biomarker detection.
